Also I loved Gen One as a group, I thought everyone came across as really comfortable together. I bought even smaller friendships like Sid/Jal or Michelle/Maxxie, something I think that was missing in Gen 2.

I had trouble even thinking of characters in Gen 1 with chemistry but not for lack of it being there; like you said, I think it was very comfortable. there didn't have to be obvious fireworks for it to work, it was all so subtle and lovely. & I agree with missing it in Gen 2; I really think Gen 2 could've been amazing if they'd focussed on the friendships.
